23rd April at 4.10pm: Unfortunately, regarding the message below and lead-times, I called it wrong. My apologies. As such all orders placed upto the 15th - and about half of those placed on the 16th, will leave by Friday 26th. On Thursday no collections are possible by couriers as it's a national holiday here in Italy. On the subject of SDS, the company handling this for us, has written to me today, acknowledged more are owed to us (submitted in December and January) and that they are now working on producing the final lot of SDS for us. This includes Plantation, Wild and Jungle ouds that many of you ask about. Next, I have spent the past year (literally) sampling ambrette seed e.o and absolutes from various producers and resellers to no avail. They all smell really poor compared to what I carried. They are too nutty, too fatty, too vegetative, too lacklustre, falling away very fast, and really dont showcase the musky textured qualities of a top ambrette properly. Even the big naturals brands are all obtaining and selling sucky poor man's ambrette at the moment. Written as I have decided to move over to carrying ambrette CO2 and this will be in place until I can find a wow absolute and E.O again. CO2 is still not on par with what I had, but it offers a far better profile on the musky front than the abs and e.os in the market place right now. This CO2 will be in stock by early May. Next, we will put all the non.eu destinations we can supply to, back on our website on May 6th - so U.A.E, UK, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. On the new product front, the next batch of 10 superstars will be released on the 20th May - lots more roses planned. And I will get started on expanding the bulk wholesale side of the business very soon - more aromatics and offered in larger weights as standard - likely upto a kilo on the website. Ok I will write again by Monday. Thank you, Adam : )
19th April at 5pm: Quick update to first say I have now added the following big ticket aromatics to the website: Italian Oakwood Absolute, Organic Georgian Rose Raduga Otto and finally Persian P.E.A Intense Rose (Otto). Orders, as I type with exception to 3 orders, every order placed up until the 11th has left with the couriers. By Monday 22nd, all orders placed up until the 14th will leave with couriers and I will type again across Monday with another update. Bulk Wholesale orders that still need to be manually typed and billed will be done so by Tuesday 23rd. Thank you, Adam : )
15th April at 5.30pm: Today I am running behind but I am happy to say that along with all E.U countries, we now can supply to the USA again. USA switched on just now and the Mysore Sandalwood 4 year aged E.O offer is extended for a week for USA clients to enjoy too. By Wednesday 17th all orders from the 9th April will be dispatched with DHL. Although we are rather full-on with orders at the moment, the lead time will improve significantly very shortly. Reason being since reopening the focus has been solely on building stocks up and we have staff coming on as well now (at last!). I will write again on Wednesday regarding lead times. This week my tasks are to get on top of the SDS we are owed by the company we have employed to handle this. And other than this I am adamant I will update the bulk wholesale list with more aromatics. Finally for now - the following 11 aromatics have recently been added to the site - French Rose Geranium E.O, Sandalwood Mysore E.O 4 Year Aged, Tuscan Olive Leaf Absolute, Mitti Attar (Petrichor), Persian Queen of Roses (Otto), Tomato Leaf Absolute, Oud Assami Skank E.O V.1, South Indian 10 Year Aged Vetiver E.O, Bengali Nagarmotha E.O, VIolet Leaf Concrete, Italian Helichrysum Absolute S.G. Thank you, Adam : )
17/11/2021: We are now starting with the second batch of this material. I need to state this batch (WMA002) is only partially ethanol-soluble. For this reason, perfume compositions will be initially cloudy and will achieve a clear solution once the composition has been properly chilled and filtered. For optimal clarity I advise to make a 10% dilution, freeze and filter. Aromatically at this dilution, the material is still very potent and still puts out a truly incredible aroma profile. So with this said, I have just altered the alcohol soluble status to partially, but beyond this, the content written by Eleonora is still spot on. Thanks, Adam : )
Eleonora Scalseggi has this to say “Although the very name wool musk absolute might seem to refer to something somewhat quirky and far from unsurpassable classics like rose or sandalwood, this material is a genius response to the unquenched thirst for natural musks and animalics but without the big ethical issues that come with materials like deer musk.
This wool musk absolute is, as the name suggests, obtained from natural wool of a small herd of sheep that has the luck of pasturing free, so they are cleaner animals compared to the ones that are kept confined in a barn, and with far better access to a vast array of grasses and shrubs that keep them healthier and happier.
Plus, shearing wool is an operation that would need doing regardless of the production of this absolute, leaving the farmer with wool, once a valuable resource, whereas today this material is increasingly regarded as some form of waste, and those who cannot find uses for it are often even forced to pay to have it disposed of. Luckily, some creative minds are now giving new life to wool using its many strengths in a range of new applications, spanning from agriculture to eco friendly buildings. Luckily for us, one farmer more creative than the rest and with a passion for natural perfumery has found this brilliant way to value his sheep wool, having it turned into a perfectly alcohol soluble absolute, via a process that is quite understandably kept secret in its key steps.
The absolute itself is of a soft but powerful nature, a clean barnyard animalic material with gently smoky leathery notes. It is a unique natural aromatic that dilutes beautifully and will impart a comforting feeling of cosiness and naturalness to almost any perfume composition, along with improving its staying power like animalic aromatics excel in doing. Maybe this is the birth of a new classic, and it is almost miraculously both a true animalic and a genuine environmentally and ethically sustainable one too.”

With this mateerial, new horizons open!
The scent is not far from lanolin and untreated wool, which is logical. As far as my nose know, there was no such scent in our perfumer palette until now. This is really a new kind of animalic. I haven’t tried it enough yet to know its tenacity and how it blends but I can imagine how it would fit in a leather, wood, heavy floral accord. I am not sure but I think this ingredient will give depth and lift at the same time.

A truly wonderful musk..a masterpiece material that can transform any composition without overlap and disturb other materials but rather enhance and transform them into a heavenly level. I’m amazed and speechless how can someone from wool create this gem..its floral,sweet woody,orris butter, ethereal and soft animalic all in one..i could actually say that the level of musky power expand from the bottle when you smell it neat is the correct level to wear it as a perfume by itself …although its a sheep wool absolute compare it with deer musk infused in sandalwood i admit that there are a lot of similarities and values..definitely buying more bottles!!10 out of 10!

This is my first time with a natural musk and so I was a bit nervous to order this. I popped the cap and took a wiff… I simply amazed. This is a rich, raw, and animalistic scent. A musk like this is PERFECT for an aphrodisiac amongst many other uses. I definitely get that barnyard animal odor that I was looking for and glad that I added it to my organ.

translated with google:
I love lively, organic, animalic scents, and this is gloriously that. It is, without a doubt, a sister smell to the civet, but with a honey texture that will make it more malleable. Wool seems to have aromatic substances very similar to civet. It is also reminiscent of cheese full of mold and mildew, delicious and succulently stinky. I love this smell. I close my eyes, smell it, and go into the fold.

I absolutely love this product! It is perfect for recreating oud accords. It is funky, smooth and oddly comforting. It has a subtle similarly to cheese, and it really does magic in blending. This is a truly incredible addition to the perfume pallet!

I’d like to say it’s a concentrated casterium. Wool – wool! A horse corral.
Incredible stuff!!!
Haven’t diluted it yet
but….This is amazing!
Hugs, Medea and Anton.
